[PATCH v3 6/6] iommu: Propagate ret for a potential soft failure EINVAL
Posted by Nicolin Chen 2 years ago
Following the new rules in include/linux/iommu.h kdocs, EINVAL now can be
used to indicate that domain and device are incompatible by a caller that
treats it as a soft failure and tries attaching to another domain.

Either mtk_iommu or virtio driver has a place that returns a hard failure
instead of the return value from the function call, where an incompatible
errno EINVAL could potentially occur.

Propagate the real return value to not miss a potential soft failure.

in both cases there is no EINVAL returned from the calling stack

IMHO error propagation is the right way even w/o talking about EINVAL
otherwise we may miss ENOMEM etc.

Apart from that comment,

OK. I changed to:

The mtk_iommu and virtio drivers have places in the ->attach_dev callback
functions that return hardcode errnos instead of the returned values, but
callers of these ->attach_dv callback functions may care. Propagate them
directly without the extra conversions.

Added this too. Thanks!
